Limitations & Specialist Requests

We aim to accommodate most scenarios, however:

  • Large pianos, safes or commercial machinery may need bespoke equipment and a separate quote.
  • Structural works, deep cleaning or pest control are not included, but we can recommend trusted partners.
  • Valuations are carried out by your chosen valuer/auctioneer. We facilitate access and provide photos, not appraisal advice.
  • Off-site storage and removals to another property can be arranged via partner services on request.

If your estate has unusual access, time constraints, or unique items, we’ll tailor a plan and provide a clear, written quotation.

Local Service In North London

  • Timed collections aligned with building rules or concierge hours

Whether the estate is a compact flat or a larger family home with a loft, cellar, garage or garden buildings, we schedule the right crew and vehicle. Appointments across N postcodes are planned with traffic and access in mind, and we can coordinate keys with local agents or caretakers if you are not nearby.
